Sponsorship
Since its founding ten years ago, FHF has achieved great strides toward its mission of helping the impoverished people of Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam. We are celebrating our accomplishments and decade anniversary with a Charity Ball to fundraise continuing support for our programs. Thus far, we have nourished 52 children, 19 of which have graduated from college and found a stable career; funded 250 corrective surgeries and 11 heart surgeries for children with congenital heart disease; assisted 563 families through microfinancing loans; granted 2,000 scholarships; and aided countless others through community construction projects (schools, bridges) and disaster relief in each monsoon season.
This year, FHF was confronted with many unprecedented challenges resulting from the national and global recession. We have continued providing services to children and families in need but are stretching the limits of our available resources. The cost of raising a child in our shelter, providing for food, education, and daily necessities, has risen from $250 per year in 2005 to more than $600 per year in 2009! Rising global food costs have made it difficult for families to survive, especially when the average daily income per capita is $1. Please help in sponsoring a child at $600 per year, or sponsoring a mobile health clinic which provides free medical services and medicine up to 300 people in a remote village at $550 per month.
Your company’s donation will be more important today than perhaps in any of the years past. FHF is in critical need of support. We hope you will extend your generosity to become a sponsor today and make a difference in the lives of the children and families who rely on FHF’s assistance to access basic essentials such as food, education, health care and vocational training.

The Friends of Hue Foundation is a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing economic self-sufficiency, health care, education and emergency relief for victims of natural disasters in Thua Thien Hue and nearby areas in Central Vietnam. Our projects (such as the mobile clinic and children's shelter) are long-term investments into the Hue community and would not be possible without the support of donors. Your donation will be tax-deductible as our organization has 501(c)3 tax-exempt status. A contribution of any quantity will be greatly appreciated and will go far to help us raise much-needed funds.
FHF’s programs are extensive and important to the people we serve. Contributions from donors like you are essential to our continued success. We hope that you will join in our cause to better the lives of the people in Thua Thien Hue Province.
